How can you prove that credential evaluations and translations were done professionally?

In the EB-2 NIW, the best way to show that credential evaluations and translations were performed by qualified professionals is to keep detailed proof of each service. The goal is not only to document the expense, but to demonstrate that the work met a serious and verifiable standard.

To do this, gather receipts and invoices that identify who provided the service, when it was performed, and what was delivered. For translations, a signed statement from the translator listing their qualifications adds credibility; for academic evaluations, the official documentation from the evaluating organization serves that purpose.

• Receipts and invoices with the provider’s name, credentials, and a full description of the service.
• Signed statement from the translator, including qualifications and certifications, when available.
• Official documentation and seal from the organization that performed the academic evaluation.

Keeping everything organized streamlines the review process and reduces back-and-forth. Because requirements can change, it is worth checking the latest guidance from USCIS or consulting a specialist before assembling your petition package.
